So im planning a build on my 85 caddy [fleetwood brougham] and i was going to put a nice alpine radio in.

But my dash is a single din, Is there a double din kit or a new dash that would fit to move the air vents to the side rather than the top? i cant just make my own and cut out the vents because i really need them in the winter to heat up the car.

i know the 90's had the vents on the sides and had a double din, Just wondering if i could do a quick swap if it would fit. I havent taken the dash apart yet to look, but i will have to pretty soon.

Or i could make a center console, put my radio in there with a few volt meters and extra mid range speakers. But im not sure how the wiring would be and what to do with my stock broken head unit i have in the factory place.

I doubt there is a kit. You may be able to find more info on a Cadillac forum or something. I would take it apart and see what the ducts look like. You may be able to convert it to the side vents. Possibly switch to the 90's style bezel and AC controls? I plan on deleting some of my vents and hope the heat diverts to other vents.
